So I cannot decide between TRD Struts / Shocks paired with TRD Red Lowering Springs or Tein Basic Dampeners.

The biggest reason I am considering the coilovers is the ability to height adjust. Considering it would be good to be able to lift it when it snows around here.

What I am looking for is what people have.. their experience and what they like about it. Any input would be helpful.

** Oh and I don't just want to put lowering springs on. I did that initially with my xB and wasn't happy with it after a few months, so I upgraded to Basic Dampeners **

 

Well like you said if you dont want to put springs on then the other option would only be coilovers correct?

I had trd springs/tokico shocks and they were great. The ride quality wasnt bad. Now I have Tein Basic coilovers and they are more stiff than the trd/tokico which cause me to lose some ride quaility. Also I can feel every lilttle bump in the road.

 

Ride quality can be a bit stiffer for me. I prefer the tight suspension over a smooth ride

 

springs have a almost stock fell . the trds fell real good. coilover are a stiff ride. if its track only. then coilovers. if its a daily then springs and shocks.

 

again.. I don't mind the stiff ride. I don't drive it everyday anyway. Sometimes i go days without driving. I don't really want a stock feel. I loved the basics on my xB. I was just wondering what people had and how they liked them on the xD

 

i not sure but the basic's on the xd is alot stiffer then when i had the 1st gen xb. but over the idea of adjusting is the reason i've done coilovers.

 

coilovers get my vote, if i had that kind of money i would have done that myself, but i got DF210's, and i really enjoy the ride.

 

Coilovers,

I have K-Sports on my car, love the ride but definitly a bit stiffer (i like it). and love the stance.

 

coilovers : ) i have tanabe coils and they are amazing great ride alot stiffer and i to love the stance i was able to achieve : )
